CHENEY, Kan. (KWCH) - The St. Rose of Lima Mount Vernon Parish is asking for their rose stained glass window to be returned. The window was stolen as they tore down their old church in 2021, and they are hoping to have it back to include in a new parish building.

“I’ve raised my family in this parish and I’ve been here my entire life,” said Tammie Hopper, a Parishioner with St. Rose of Lima Mt Vernon.

Hopper remembers the original St. Rose of Lima Mount Vernon church that stood for over a century.

“The rose window has been there, as father said, the church has been here over 100 years, and that rose window has been here with us,” Hopper said.

Though many things were brought to the new church from the original, like the stations of the cross and the altars, one window remains missing.
